“…Adolescents living in residential youth care (RYC) institutions often have a background characterized by adverse childhood experiences (ACE), including abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, making them more prone to negative emotional, behavioral, and social developmental outcomes [1][2][3] as well as lower quality of life (QoL) [4,5]. Consequently, the professional monitoring and establishment of a positive social climate are important in avoiding negative outcomes [6,7]. Knowledge of the potential protective factors for vulnerable adolescents' development while living in RYC is generally lacking despite its integral role in providing optimal care and in informing policies and practices for providing high-quality RYC institutions.…”

Background Residential youth care (RYC) institutions aim to provide care and stability for vulnerable adolescents with several previous and present challenges, such as disrupted attachments, wide-ranging adverse childhood experiences, mental health problems, and poor quality of life (QoL). To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to provide knowledge of the associations between perceived social support and QoL and to explore the potential moderating effect of perceived social support on QoL for adolescents who have experienced maltreatment and polyvictimization. Methods All RYC institutions with adolescents between the ages 12–23 in Norway were asked to participate in the study. A total of 86 institutions housing 601 adolescents accepted the invitation, from which 400 adolescents volunteered to participate. The Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Interview was used to gather information on maltreatment histories and degree of victimization; the Kinder Lebensqualität Fragebogen was used to measure QoL through several domains (overall QoL, physical well-being, emotional well-being, and self-esteem); and the Social Support Questionnaire was used to measure perceived social support. Linear regression and independent samples t-test were used to study the associations between perceived social support and QoL as well as the potential moderating effect of perceived social support in the association between maltreatment history and QoL. Results Perceived social support was positively associated with QoL for both girls and boys, with domain-specific findings. A higher number of different types of support persons was associated with overall QoL, emotional well-being, and self-esteem for boys, but only with self-esteem for girls. Individual social support from RYC staff and friends was associated with higher QoL for girls. However, perceived social support did not moderate the association between maltreatment history and reduced QoL for either sex. Conclusions This study emphasizes the importance of maintaining social support networks for adolescents living in RYC, the crucial contribution of RYC staff in facilitating social support, and the potential value of social skills training for these vulnerable adolescents. Furthermore, a wider range of initiatives beyond social support must be carried out to increase QoL among adolescents with major maltreatment and polyvictimization experiences.

“…The reasons are (1) the family is the first social group to become the Child Identification Center, (2) Many children spend their time in the family environment, and (3) family members are "important people" for shaping the child's personality. A study found that children who thrive in a democratic climate tend to have personality traits: more active, more social, more selfconfident, and more constructive than children who grow up in an authoritarian climate (Leipoldt, Harder, Kayed, Grietens, & Rimehaug, 2019). Furthermore, other research says cultural factors influence us to follow certain patterns of behaviour that other people make for us (Fernández-Gómez et al, 2020) The independent variable X1 partially influences and is significant on variable Y.…”

This type of research is quantitative. The nature of the research emphasizes numerical data (numbers) processed by statistical methods. While the research approach is carried out by describing the ex post facto. For data processing techniques using validity and reliability tests using the product-moment formula. The data analysis used in this research is the univariate analysis test, multivariate analysis test, classical assumption test, hypothesis test, and direct and indirect effect test. The results showed that the attitude of the lecturers influenced the transformation of STAIN Jurai Siwo Metro into IAIN Metro. The attitude of the lecturer towards the post-transformation process of STAIN Jurai Siwo Metro into IAIN Metro is a conflicting dysfunctional behaviour, covering several interconnected aspects, namely cognitive, affection, and behaviour which are influenced by various factors.

“…Recently, a special attention has been called to the role of the residential care social climate for the child and adolescents’ adjustment development (for a review Leipoldt et al, 2019 ). One important feature of social climate is cohesion.…”

Background Children and youth residential care institutions were forced to introduce adaptations to their regular functioning in order to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic challenges. Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the lockdown on the adolescents’ psychological adjustment and whether adolescents’ perceived cohesion mitigated the increase of adolescents` psychological adjustment problems. Participants Participants were 243 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years, living in 21 different residential care institutions. Results The results suggested a moderating role of cohesion on the stability of adolescents’ emotional distress across time. Lower levels of cohesion were related with higher emotional distress stability across time. On the contrary, as cohesion increased, the association between adolescents’ emotional distress at T0 and T1 decreased. Discussion Results are discussed considering the mechanisms raised by the institutions to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and minimize the negative effects on the psychological adjustment of adolescents living in residential care.
